Here is another preview of the upcoming vSphere 5 vReference Card – the VM section. There are several areas that I’ve shaded in grey as I’ve not been able to confirm that they are still valid with vSphere 5 VMs. I’d love to hear your feedback, as I’m likely to drop anything I can’t be sure [...]

I didn’t take notes as I quickly got absorbed by this excellent presentation.

Intel said we will start to see 10GBASE-T on server boards [...]
